Add a semantic patch for using ALLOC_ARRAY to allocate arrays and apply
the transformation on the current source tree. The macro checks for
multiplication overflow and infers the element size automatically; the
result is shorter and safer code.

Add a semantic patch for converting certain calls of memcpy(3) to
COPY_ARRAY() and apply that transformation to the code base. The result
is
shorter and safer code. For now only consider calls where source and
destination have the same type, or in other words: easy cases.
